It is possible to install the Python and Go plugins into IntelliJ. That's the setup used wildly in my current place of work.

It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case with Rust, C++, and possibly even C# too.

I'm sure there is some loss of UX and related features in this setup but there are always trade-offs.

No both C++ and C# need to be bought as separate IDEs:

Only Clion includes C++: https://www.jetbrains.com/products/compare/?product=idea&pro...

Only Rider includes C#: https://www.jetbrains.com/products/compare/?product=idea&pro...

Rider handles C++ but it looks like that's only for MSBuild projects.
Only on Windows. For other platforms it has very limited support for the Unreal engine and not much else.
Thanks. I don't use either but good to correct my guess.
